The model includes lifeboats, and a template for a metal davit, but no brackets to hold the boats. There are pictures of brackets. I used AutoCAD to draw up brackets, printed and cut out. Maybe not historically perfect, but I think it works. Still have to make the metal davits.
The engine room skylights were simply glued to the deck on the KPC model. Also two small vents are depicted as flat black dots located foreward and aft of the center mast. On the real ship all of this is on a waist -high platform like the officer's quarters. I fabricated the platforms and the vents. Sorry about the fuzzy pic. This still needs railings, and two small funnel vents.
